Automatic error fixes for high-availability applications

摘要: Output is obtained from a remote computer function on a first set of arguments. Responsive to determining that the output exhibits an error, a fixer routine, other than a retry, is applied to the arguments to produce new arguments. Output is obtained from the remote computer function on the new arguments. In a case where the output from the remote computer function on the new arguments is acceptable, the output from the remote computer function on the new arguments is used as a corresponding output from the remote computer function on the first set of arguments. These steps can advantageously be carried out without modifying program code of the remote computer function and without access to the program code of the remote computer function; for example, by a wrapper which black-box wraps the remote computer function.
